Do wood or plastic seats have less chance of cracking?

I can't picture this toilet seat cracking... It's plastic and very serviceable

The lid seems a little flexible. Although its worth it to have a toilet seat that doesn't stain and keeps that "new" look. Be careful how you clean it, it can scratch. I use disinfectant wipes.

This plastic seat is great -- it's sturdy, doesn't stain and can be slammed by your children again and again and not crack!

I have had both, and honestly haven't had any issues with that. I would think if there was a chance cracking, maybe the lid of a plastic if set on by heavier weight

This plastic lid is pretty study. I Have stood on it without any problems. Usually wood ones can take more weight, but seem more vulnerable to cleaners (stains, paint is eaten by cleaner, etc)

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

I have had them for a couple of months but don't think they will leave damage since they are made of plastic. Also, they are expandable which allows you to fit them securely without being too tight like the wooden ones.

Yes I'm wondering the same thing. The wood looks nicer to me, but will the metal survive wear and tear better?

Haven't had these crack yet. Previous similar models that did crack didn't split along the seams, but on the thickest padded part of the seat, perpendicular to the seams.

We have this recliner for several months now and the fabric is doing well. However, I'm not sure we had it long enough to be certain it will not crack. It is a nice recliner and the price is great.

No cracking whatsoever. We've had the bidets on four commodes and had one ill fitting seat that was very old. We bought a new one and bidet fits tightly now.

I would say- the plastic and wooden are better, in a case of stainless utensilis- the small scratches are possible.

We didn't use glue, and the chairs have held up fine. However, if you feel more comfortable with additional reinforcement, it can't hurt to use a little wood glue.

Being honest its prob best to use when they are a little sturdy. Have you tried the Bumbo seat?

The seats and backs are made of vinyl. It's a nice soft material, cleans easily (we just had a bunch of chocolate cake melted into it that came off very well). The vinyl is not shiny and hard like some of the chairs in that style and does not seem to warp or "dent" too much from sitting. I agree with Joette (below). kids here too -- seems very durable.

Honestly, I don't think so. I think the change in temperature, humidity, etc. might make it crack or warp. Don't get me wrong, I love this bench. It fit's perfectly in my laundry room/mud room. But I live in Utah, and even with the bench INSIDE, it's developed some small cracks on the seat. (I just went to look at it) I am tlhinking of get some paint to fix it, maybe something to seal it.

Hello, I have purchased 2 sets. I put them over cloth/velour seats to protect them. I'm sold!

It's fabric, not plastic. Personally, I like that better because the old chair I had was vinyl/plastic and it cracked at the seams and stuff.

I havent tried it. When not in use i put them in plastic in garage. So my cushions still look new. I dont leave them out in the elements. Our seating area has overhang. The furniture itself is very lightweight. Moves easily when you sit down. Worldmarket etc has heavier more substancial.

I haven't sat on the lid, but durability was a concern of mine for the adult seat itself. As a person of "ample carriage," our previous seat would flex a bit and didn't feel sturdy. This seat actually feels MORE sturdy than the old one. It's solid, molded wood and is more rigid than the old one. I think the placement of the spacers underneath the adult seat (resting on the toilet bowl) are placed in a better position to support weight.

Hi, only had the chairs for just over a month. the leatherette look is nice, only sit in it once a day, if that. I have wiped down the chairs with a spray cleaner and didn't change color or damage material. not sure if it can be called cracking but it does have lines that look like cracking, but no tears or breakage with the leatherette. The seat cushion has not sunken. Again only had chairs for a short time and are used rarely. Hope this helps.
